2 The message given to our ancestors by the angels was shown to be true, and those who did not follow it or obey it received the punishment they deserved.
3 How, then, shall we escape if we pay no attention to such a great salvation? The Lord himself first announced this salvation, and those who heard him proved to us that it is true.
4 At the same time God added his witness to theirs by performing all kinds of miracles and wonders and by distributing the gifts of the Holy Spirit according to his will.
5 God has not placed the angels as rulers over the new world to come—the world of which we speak.
6 Instead, as it is said somewhere in the Scriptures:“What are human beings, O God, that you should think of them;mere human beings, that you should care for them?
7 You made them for a little while lower than the angels;you crowned them with glory and honor,
8 and made them rulers over all things.”It says that God made them “rulers over all things”; this clearly includes everything. We do not, however, see human beings ruling over all things now.
